LenGilbert visited on 8th Aug 2014 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Very interesting mystical well that just happened to be located where the battle of Culloden happened. The site of Alexander MacGillivray's, death. He was leading the Clan Chattan into battle against the royalist forces.
The Well of the Dead at Culloden Moor battlefield. Possibly has a much older history than the Jacobite Rebellion. Pending research.
